Steamed Vegetables with Rice and Fried Shrimp Dumplings!

This is a recipe that is perfect for family dinners because it makes a lot of food, or just or in my case just to make lots of leftovers to eat over the week. This dinner invcludes, steamed vegetables and rice with fried shrimp dumplings, this is one of my favorite meals to make. Sometimes I just add cooked chicken to the steamed vegetables and rice and don't make the dumplings so it takes less time to make, but the dumplings are so yummy and I love shrimp!

Ingredients:

frozen stir fry mixed vegetables

steamed rice

1 pkg cream cheese

12 pre-cooked shrimp

1 pkg wonton wrappers

fresh ginger

soy sauce

1. steam your rice in the rice cooker (I use jasmine rice)

2. to start your dumpling filling add cream cheese and grate the ginger into a bowl, (I like a lot of ginger in mine but out enough for your taste), mix both ingredients together. Then, chop the shrimp into pieces and add it to the cream cheese mixture.

3. Take your wonton wrappers and with the tip of your finger dip it into a bowl of water and smear the water around the edge of the wonton wrapper, put a spoon full of the cream cheese mixture onto the wonton, fold the wonton over as the wonton package shows you.

4. Begin steaming your vegetables in a pan with a little bit of olive oil (I added some extra shrimp to my vegetables as well).

5. Fry the dumplings in a pan with hot oil until they are crispy and golden brown.

6. Add the steamed vegetables to your steamed rice and add soy sauce to taste.  Then, set the dumplings aside or add them in as well and you are done! Yummy!
